Myriads amass near National Theatre for ‘Broken Goods’
The National Theatre was crowded to the ridge when fans crowded the auditorium to behold Roverman Production’s latest play – ‘Damaged Goods,’ at the weekend.
Since the first scene to the end, fans failed to stop themselves from laughing as they were brought into the home of a characteristic Ghanaian family. ‘Damaged Goods’ is placed on a family described by society as faultless.
Having been wedded for over seventeen years – this family is together with the bond of love and affection for each other – until a DNA test discloses the horrifying truth; not all the children have same father.
Patrons stayed glued to their seat as the truth unfolded with the passage of time. One pregnancy was brought into the marriage, another through rape and the last, infidelity.
Is it possible to forgive? How do you handle such pain? What happens to the children? ‘Damaged Goods’ answers this from diverse angles, leaving the audience in awe and admiration. But for single patrons of the show, it also explored how people, usually women are regarded by others as ‘damaged goods.’
Although there have been calls for a re-run of the show, it is not yet communicated if lovers of stage drama who missed out on this latest production will be given a second chance to watch it.
In the meantime, Ghanaians can wait patiently for another exciting production from the Roverman team in September as it marks its third quarter.
